AFS77T: There's the new transparent pickguard seen here again, not to mention the fresh ACH pickups & that new cross block headstock motif in place of the traditional lightning bolt for the Artcore series. Unlike the Edge whammy bridges, the ART birdge are a little wanting in terms of effectiveness. Black binding on a white body- cool, this one...
Unofficial
Word has it, Ibanez has introduced a fresh tier of instrument. We have the standard models & the Prestige offerings in the catalogues but come 2011, there will be the Premium series; models which sit in between the aforementioned tiers. I'll update them here as the soon as the confirmation comes in.

that SR bass looks yummy... but too bad it was a prestige series
plans to get another bass next year, maybe a 5-stringer >:)
the ART bridge is a bigsby based design after all, and inherently less stable than a floyd rose type bridge. haha
That ASR76T.....I like! :>

ibanez has a penchant for producing their own take of an acclaimed unit- the Edge did well but the ART is not quite as successful. i've tried it after trying a real Bigsby unit & the difference in class is quite marked.

this link seems to show a budget version of the edge zero bridge
word has it that the Edge III bridge will be discontinued but until the US & international homepages are updated, i don't want to speculate- if they don't make it here then hopeful parties would be left disappointed.
